The hotel was even better than the pictures and it had a really great atmosphere! The view is amazing, specially on the last floor and also the restaurant and bar are top notch! In reception, we spoke with "Deep" and he was really careful with us, offering all the details we needed.
Overall the hotel is the best deal you can get in the area for such an affordable price! Strongly recommend!
